English fiction -- 19th century; Short stories, English
"An exquisite story.... No person sensitive to the influence of what
makes for the true, the lovely, and the strong in human friendship and
the real in life's work can read this book without being benefited by
it."--_Buffalo Commercial._
"The book has universal interest and very unusual merit.... Aside from
its subtle poetic charm, the book is a noble example of the power of
keen observation."--_Boston Herald._
_CORRUPTION_. By PERCY WHITE, author of "Mr. Bailey-Martin,"
etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25.
"There is intrigue enough in it for those who love a story of the
ordinary kind, and the political part is perhaps more attractive in its
sparkle and variety of incident than the real thing itself."--_London
Daily News._
"A drama of biting intensity, a tragedy of inflexible purpose and
relentless result."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
_A HARD WOMAN._ A Story in Scenes. By VIOLET HUNT. 12mo. Cloth,
$1.25.
"An extremely clever work. Miss Hunt probably writes dialogue better
than any of our young novelists.... Not only are her conversations
wonderfully vivacious and sustained, but she contrives to assign to each
of her characters a distinct mode of speech, so that the reader easily
identifies them, and can follow the conversations without the slightest
difficulty."--_London Athenæum._
"One of the best writers of dialogue of our immediate day. The
conversations in this book will enhance her already secure
reputation."--_London Daily Chronicle._
"A creation that does Miss Hunt infinite credit, and places her in the
front rank of the younger novelists.... Brilliantly drawn, quivering
with life, adroit, quiet-witted, unfalteringly insolent, and withal
strangely magnetic."--_London Standard._
_AN IMAGINATIVE MAN._ By ROBERT S. HICHENS, author of "The
Green Carnation." 12mo. Cloth, $1.25.
"One of the brightest books of the year."--_Boston Budget._
"Altogether delightful, fascinating, unusual."--_Cleveland Amusement
Gazette._
"A study in character.... Just as entertaining as though it were the
conventional story of love and marriage. The clever hand of the author
of 'The Green Carnation' is easily detected in the caustic wit and
pointed epigram."--_Jeannette L. Gilder, in the New York World._
